1 FAA LED Light Bar Airfield Guidance Sign Compliance with Standards FAA: Uses L-8Y(L), L-8R(L), L-8L(L) and L-8B(L) AC 50/55- (Current Edition) and the FAA Engineering Brief No. 67. ETL Certified. FAA L-8Y(L) Direction, Destination, and Boundary (Informational Sign) FAA L-8R(L) Mandatory Sign FAA L-8L(L) Runway/Taxiway Location Sign: These signs are designed to guide pilots to a particular point on the field, identify holding positions, identify taxiway and runway intersections, and prohibit aircraft entry into designated areas. FAA L-8B(L) Runway Distance Remaining Sign: The L-8B is used at,000-foot intervals adjacent to the runway edge in order to provide runway distance remaining information to pilots during takeoff and landing operations. Construction Corrosion-resistant sign construction requires minimal maintenance. Aluminum housing Acrylic sign legend panels Stainless steel hardware Retroreflective sheeting Translucent plastic panel dividers used between multi-module legend panels Operating Conditions Temperature -0 F to + F (-0 C to +55 C) Humidity 0 to 00% Wind ADB Safegate Mode signs withstand wind velocities up to 5 mph ADB Safegate Mode signs withstand wind velocities up to 7 mph Features Unique LED Light Bar design maximizes energy efficiency Available Battery Tester provides for quick and easy testing of individual LED Light Bars Electrical design uses a minimal number of components which maximizes sign MTBF and greatly simplifies troubleshooting efforts. Virtually eliminates runway and taxiway shutdowns due to longlasting LED light source Direct replacement for existing sign Creates a highly uniform distribution of light, eliminating hot spots and shadows Operates on ferroresonant or thyristor CCRs that are designed in compliance with FAA or IEC requirements Operates on all steps of a -step or 5-step CCR and on a 5.5 A CCR. Eliminates re-lamping expenses and reduces on-going maintenance costs Improved safety low, regulated DC voltage inside sign Rugged lightning protection that complies with ANSI/IEEE C6.-99 Location Category C given in FAA Eng. Brief 67. Category C is defined as a./50μs 8/0 μs combination wave, with a peak voltage of 0,000 Volts and a peak current of 5,000 A.

3 L-8 Sign LED Retrofit Kits for ADB Safegate Signs Application A retrofit kit is available to convert any existing ADB Safegate tungsten-halogen or fluorescent sign to an LED light source. The same retrofit kit can be used to convert signs using LED light tubes (Part No. 8A008 and 8A009) to the new LED light bar design. The kit is available for all FAA Types: L-8Y, L-8R, L-8L and L-8B; all s: through 5; and all module lengths: up to modules. Retrofitting a sign is fast and easy. It typically takes 0 minutes to retrofit a -module sign. The retrofit process converts the sign to the same type as an existing ADB Safegate ETL-Certified sign. Reduced Maintenance costs An LED sign virtually eliminates runway and taxiway shutdowns due to the long life LED light source. It eliminates re-lamping expenses and reduces on-going maintenance costs. The LED optical design also creates a highly uniform distribution of light, eliminating hot spots and shadows. Also, the sign provides for improved safety because there is only a low, regulated DC voltage inside sign. Energy savings An LED sign provides greatly reduced energy consumption compared to existing types of signs. See chart below for more information. The LED sign operates on ferroresonant or thyristor CCRs that are designed in compliance with FAA requirements. The sign electronics are designed to operate on -step, 5-step and 5.5 A dedicated series circuits. See chart on previous page for sign loading and optimum sign transformer size. Note that the existing larger size transformer, if present, can be reused. Ask for Service Bulletin ALN58 for details on how to retrofit the sign.

It is important to match power cord exit location with legend side. Use high wind signs in those locations where actual wind speed exceeds FAA specifications (Mode ). High wind signs tested to a minimum wind load of 7 mph as recommended by FAA tec hnical paper DOT/FAA/AR - TN00/: Evaluation of Wind -Loading on Airport Signs. High wind signs require four anchor bolts per floor flange except, which uses the standard -bolt foot. Cord set coiled up inside side. Customer provides entry hole. Not ETL Certified.
